Illinois Adult Day Care Minimum Standards

While Illinois does not require either licensure or certification of adult day care programs the Department on Aging Community Care Program (CCP) do have regulations for adult day care in the Administrative Code. These regulations include that all Adult Day Care service providers must be in compliance with all applicable local and state building, fire, health, and safety codes and standards. In addition, they must also meet specific accessibility and environmental barrier codes, food service sanitation and vehicle codes.

Adult Day Care service providers must have written procedures on file and implemented on the management, storage and administration of medications. These policies ensure that prescribed medication is administered by an appropriately licensed professional. Illinois codes require that Adult Day Care service programs must have a nurse on duty at least one half of a full time work period when clients are in attendance. The nurse can either be on staff or on a contractual basis. With written department approval the responsibilities of a program nurse can be purformed by a full time program director/coordinator or administrator. In Illinois, regulations require that there will be two staff members for up to 1-12 clients. three staff members for 13-20 clients, four staff members for 21-28 clients and one more staff person for each seven additional participants. In addition, all employees must undergo a thorough background check. The Illinois' Adult Day Care services regulations can be found here.
